Old Hemp Factory, used to work on water power. It used to make ropes and textile. Before the Second World War Edessa was called "Manchester of the east" because of it's textile industry. The Germans destroyed most of the industry in the war. After the war water power was not important anymore and the industry languished.
Deze hennepfabriek werkte op waterkracht en fabriceerde textiel en touw. Voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd Edessa wel het "Manchester van het oosten" genoemd, vanwege deze industrie (in Nederlandse termen wellicht het Twente van Griekenland). Tijdens de Duitse bezetting werd een flink deel van de stad vernietigd, inclusief de fabrieken. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog nam de betekenis van waterkracht af en de industrie kwijnde weg. De fabriekshal op de foto is deels een café restaurant geworden, in het grootste deel van de fabriekshal staan de oude machines nog (weer?) opgesteld. Het heeft een museale functie en is vrij te bezoeken. Ik vond het een absolute aanrader, maar dat kan je ook wel zien aan de hoeveelheid gemaakte foto's!
Waterfall Factory exhibits Danish and Swedish photo- and video-based contemporary art at Easter 2012th.
Waterfall Factory is located in Mölleröd. The exhibition is displayed in an abandoned factory - Waterfall Factory - which in itself is an attraction. The major part of the building looks like when it was abandoned. But the first floor, overlooking the lake, is decorated like a modern apartment and studio that is part of the exhibition space. The factory is beautifully situated in a very scenic area.

Hosiery warehouse/factory, built in two stages: 1875-1878 original L-shaped block along Lower Bond Street and Baines Lane, by Goddard & Paget; 1910 extension of four storeys and 13 bays on Lower Bond Street, by Goddard & Company. Red brick, ashlar storey bands, dentiled eaves course, hipped slated roof, regular fenestration with pivot and sash openings.
EXTERIOR: Lower Bond Street façade: three storeys plus basement; red facing bricks with ashlar dressings. 22 window range, with window bays set back in a palazzo-style façade; segmental headed openings to the basement windows, round-arched openings with roll moulds to the second and third-floors, square-headed steel lintels to openings on the top floor with dentil frieze beneath the sills. The extent of the original nine bay building at the south end of the range is marked by the chimney stack and the two cart entrances with decorative terracotta foliate detailing above. Both entrances originally had round-arched openings of two orders with roll-mouldings, as survives on the south entrance into Baines Lane; the arch in the north entrance has been squared off. A further cart entrance is located in the northern bay of the 1910 extension, also with two orders of arches with roll mouldings (the arch survives but a window has been inserted and the entrance has been bricked up). The plainer return range along Baines Lane is of three storeys plus a basement with 11 bays of segmental arched windows with glazing bar casements. The rear wall on east side of this range opposite the chapel has no windows. To the rear, in the angle between the Baines Lane and Lower Bond Street ranges is a stair block, extended c.1910 to accommodate a lift shaft. There is a courtyard between the extended L-shaped Goddard building and the later C20 concrete framed building to the rear, itself a replacement of an earlier factory range which formed part of the Atkins concern. The ground-floor of this later factory incorporates a boiler room with segmental arched heads and brickwork contemporary with the 1910 extension of the factory.
INTERIOR: The factory ranges have wooden floors and cross beams with tie rods, carried on cast iron columns. The roof over the 1870s building is original and is of composite truss construction, with timber raking struts and cast iron knees between collar and principal rafters. There are iron rods in addition to timber purlins. The roof construction over the 1910 extension is broadly similar. The introduction of powered manufacturing through line shafting is evidenced by end bearing blocks in the walls and by holes drilled in the iron columns and cross beams which indicate the former position of carriers. History: The hosiery industry was well established in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and east Derbyshire by the end of the 17th century. The stocking frame was introduced to Hinckley in the mid-17th century and by 1791 nearly 1,000 frames were in use, with framework knitting becoming a full-time domestic employment. Hosiery was to become the principal industry in Hinckley up until the 1970s. Hosiery was the latest of all of the textile industries to become fully factory based, a process which continued throughout the 1880s and 1890s. The Atkins factory is one of the earliest surviving representatives of the transition in hosiery from domestic hand-powered to factory machine-powered production. Although the factory is located in the medieval town, it is also part of the Druid Quarter, a northwards expansion of the town devoted to hosiery manufacture in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
The origins of the Atkins Brothers' firm can be traced back to 1722, when Robert Atkins (1702-1768), the son of a yeoman farmer, returned to Bond Street in Hinckley to make stockings, having served his apprenticeship in London. At this time knitting was a cottage industry with supplies of wool readily available in the locality. The family home was originally located on the site of the 1910 extension of the Atkins building, close to the Great Meeting chapel, built in 1722 (listed at Grade II*). The family were closely linked with the chapel, which was their place of worship, indeed, the original Goddard building was designed with an arched entry which gives access to the chapel from Baines Lane. The family tomb is in the grounds and Elizabeth, the last member of the family to be buried there in 1891, was reputed to have been the driving force behind the expansion of the factory, which included the purchase of an orchard from the Unitarians to provide further land. The family was noted for its philanthropy and interest in public affairs. John (1829-1908), Thomas (1832-1911) and Hugh (1838-1911) were founder-members of the cottage hospital in Hinckley and the library was presented to the town by the family in memory of Arthur (1840-1882). Originally a partnership, in 1929 Atkins was converted to a private limited company and in 1950 became a public company. An important fashion change took place within the trade in the 1960s with the almost total elimination of fully-fashioned stockings which caused redundancies, but the firm prospered again with the introduction of tights.
Until 1990 Atkins was still engaged in essentially the same business and was reputedly the oldest surviving independent knitting firm in the world. A significant feature of the firm was the continuity of the family management, the final member of the family in the firm, Tom Atkins retired in 1994. In the following year the firm, then in its 273rd year, passed into the ownership of Coats Viyella Plc.

Summary of Importance: A large hosiery factory built in two phases: 1875-1878, by Goddard and Paget, 1910 extension by Goddard and Company to the same design, resulting in an impressive and detailed facade unusual for the hosiery industry. It is an intact and early representative of the transfer between domestic hand-powered and factory machine-powered production, this change in scale illustrated by the physical dominance of the factory over the adjacent listed framework knitters cottage. The historic importance of the connection with Atkins Brothers, a firm based on the same site since the C17 and the strong family association with the Grade II* listed Unitarian Chapel, situated so close to the factory adds to the significance of the building.

This old elevator from the Merry and Weeks Cheese Factory is on display in the N.Y.S. Museum of Cheese building at the Erie Canal Village. The NYS Museum of Cheese is in the building which originally housed the Weeks & Merry Cheese Factory, from 1862 to 1910. During that time the Merry & Weeks Cheese Factory was located in Verona, NY. The old building was moved to and reconstructed at the Erie Canal Village about 25 years ago. The cheese museum chronicles the history and the glory days of cheesemaking in New York State. The Erie Canal Village is located on Routes 46/49, just west of Rome, NY.

Rare to see hens in a natural environment these days. This is the way it should be and the eggs taste much better when the hen is happy:-)))
Keith and I visited the Bush's Bean Factory and museum in Chestnut Hill, TN. It is literally in the middle of nowhere and was a fun tour -- learned a lot about the history of the company, and of grocery stores, in the tour they gave!

Also nicknamed "Shelt Factory", this strip mill was part of the Usines Métallurgiques de Hainaut-Sambre. The first report we can make about this building is that it's huge! Indeed, the factory looks like an enormous warehouse of about 630 meters long (for around 30 meters wide). Sun beams infiltrate through the roof of this construction located along the railroad.
Here, the steel was refined in billets of steel ready for exportation.
Built in the haste and the euphoria at the end of the 60s, during a post-war period where the growth of the caroloregian steel industry continued to climb, this construction of this site arrived almost at the same time as the recession which was going to mark the last moments of glory of this industry. Besides, the products of this strip mill were already exploited by other companies of the region, so the site did not last long enough to step in front of the competition and eventually closed at the end of the 70s.
The place is today abandoned, and there is no remain of the machinery except for two rusty overhead cranes still suspended at the ceiling and a third one lying on the ground. This emptiness strengthens the sensation of size when we penetrate there. Next to the warehouse, there are still some annexes among which the changing rooms, a machinery room and a gasometer. Unmistakably, this place remembers us the wealth in the region of Charleroi during its era of glory…

Également surnommé "Usine Shelt", ce laminoir des Usines Métallurgiques de Hainaut-Sambre impressionne tout d'abord par sa taille. Le bâtiment se présente en effet sous la forme d'un énorme hangar d'environ 630 mètres de long (pour une trentaine de mètres de large) transpercé par les rayons du soleil. Situé le long de la voie ferrée, cette usine permettait d'affiner l'acier pour en faire des billettes (sortes de poutrelles d'acier de petit et moyen calibres) prêtes à être exportées.
Construit dans l'empressement et l'euphorie à la fin des années 60, pendant une période où la croissance de la sidérurgie carolorégienne de l'après-guerre continuait à grimper, ce site tomba presque nez-à-nez avec la récession qui allait marquer les derniers moments de gloire de cette industrie. Les produits de ce laminoir étant par ailleurs déjà exploités par d'autres entreprises de la région, le site ne fit pas long feu face à la concurrence et ferma à la fin des années 70.
Le lieu étant aujourd'hui à l'abandon, plus une seule machinerie ne s'y trouve à part les restes rouillés de deux ponts roulants encore suspendus au plafond (et un troisième au sol), ce qui renforce la sensation de grandeur lorsqu'on y pénètre. On retrouve à côté quelques bâtiments annexes (vestiaires, salles des machines, gazomètre…). Un lieu dont la taille nous évoque indéniablement la richesse de l'ère de l'industrie sidérurgique du bassin de Charleroi…
